Scrappy Blue Something, Weaving project number 3

This is project number 3 on my 15 inch Cricket Loom, following the Craftsy Class by Angela Tong. I used up more of my cotton stash in blues, white and off-white. The marled yarn really made the sections interesting. I love the way the mercerized, double-stranded DK weight Bernat Cassino created the illusion of crosses. I went for random lengths of weft and warped half the loom with white and half with Cascade Sierra Quattro.
I wanted to make placemats, but the final width was only 10.5 inches so for now it's yardage. It's a little wide for a scarf, imo.

I made a small dent in the stash. My weave is more uniform, and the selveges are okay, but the ends with the fat yarn really showed up with the contrast.

I signed up for Ravellenics, Team Aloha Knitters, but my project, Aidez with Cascade 128 had a little stall. I took the chart with me to work on my Nook, and misread it. Darn this old eyes!! It's started again on dpns. I'm going with a sleeve and plan to knit this in the round.

I'm enjoying this season's Downton Abbey (spoiler alert)..
What is that sneaky butler up to, and I still hate that horrid visiting butler for what he did to Anna. I hope Anna gets some justice but not at the expense of Bates. I'm not sure I like Rose. Lady Edith needs a break, waah. It seems inevitable that Tom Branson is not renewing his contract, sigh. Drama drama....I love this series!
